    Once again:

    • Fascists promise to do fascist things
    • Americans vote for fascists
    • Elected fascists do fascist things
    • How could Democrats do this???

      You missed a couple of steps, no biggie:

      • Fascists promise to do fascist things
      • Americans vote for fascists
      • Elected fascists do fascist things
      • Fascists go unpunished because of the Democrats
      • Elected fascists do fascist things
      • How could Democrats do this???

        Where do you think the fascists get the political capital to be able to do whatever they want with impunity? The fucking voters.

          Yes, but how do (a good proportion of) voters decide who they support? They look at what the two parties do. And this is what the Democrats did: not even close to enough.

            And they only know what the Democrats did through the media, and the media overwhelmingly supported the fascists (and is largely owned by fascist oligarchs).

    Just maintaining the rule of law should have been enough. Didn’t trump just brag about musk manipulating the voting machines in Pennsylvania?

    All the democrats had to do was enforce the law while in power, and they failed to do so. The monied interests in America wanted fascism, and it was handed to them on a silver platter.

    The D party just texted me today asking for more money and feedback. I gave them a piece of my mind!

      Whatever it finally is that gets the Republicans out, you can be assured the part that matters won’t be done by the Democrats.
